Workshop Case Study, Loop Juice
Due to stock management issues and superficial reasons (produce shape, color and look), almost half of the fruits and vegetables grown around the world end up being wasted. LOOP Juice, based in Canada, saves produce discarded between the farm and the supermarket and at the distribution stage. Each bottle of juice is packed with over 1.5 kg of perfectly imperfect fruits and vegetables. In addition to making nutrient-rich juices readily available, LOOP Juice also makes use of the residual pulp by providing a partner company with the very nutritious high-fiber pulp byproduct which is then turned into dog treats and beer. LOOP Juice is an innovative and exciting company to watch in the growing circular economy.
